Organic Chemistry Organic Chemistry: The chemistry of carbon

and carbon-based compounds

Organic Chemistry in everyday life:Smells & tastes: fruits, chocolate, fish, mintMedications: Aspirin, Tylenol, Decongestants, SedativesAddictive substances: Caffeine, Nicotine, Alcohol, NarcoticsHormones/Neurotransmitters: Adrenaline, EpinephrineFood/Nutrients: Carbohydrates, Protein, Fat, Vitamins

Functional GroupA part of a large molecule; composed of an

atom or group of atom that has characteristics chemical behavior

Family Name Alkane AlkeneAromaticAlcoholEther

Functional groupFunctional groups are attached to the

carbon backbone of organic molecules. They determine the characteristics and chemical reactivity of molecules. Functional groups are far less stable than the carbon backbone and are likely to participate in chemical reactions. Six common biological functional groups are

hydrogen, hydroxyl, carboxyl, carbonyl, amino, phosphate, and methyl

Hydrocarbon Functional Groups

❍ Hydrocarbons contain only hydrogen and carbon❍ The hydrocarbon functional groups include

Alkanes Alkenes Alkynes Aromatics

CLASSIFICATION OF HYDROCARBON COMPOUNDS

HYDROCARBONS contain only C and H atoms

ALIPHATIC hydrocarbons

SATURATED hydrocarbons

contain C–C and C–H single bonds only

(ALKANES)

UNSATURATED hydrocarbons

contain at least 1 C–C multiple bond

ALKENE contains the

C=C functional

group

ALKYNE contains the

C≡C functional

group

AROMATIC Hydrocarbons must contain a

BENZENE ring

Remember!GROUP

14 Carbon needs FOUR bonds

15 Nitrogen needs THREE bonds

16 Oxygen needs TWO bonds

17 Fluorine needs ONE bond

Alkanes

❍ Alkanes are the simplest functional group❍ An older name for alkanes is paraffin's❍ The functional group is the C-C single bond

❍ Example

CH4 (methane) Simplest Alkane

each Carbon (ethane) has TETRAHEDRAL

geometry

CH3—CH3

CH3 -CH2-CH2 -CH3 or CH3

-(CH2)2-CH3

hexane CH3 -CH2-CH2- CH2 -CH2 -CH3

bond-line structures (molecular graphs)

Alkyl Groups (“stick-on” groups)

❍ If a hydrogen is removed from an alkane, it leaves an “alkyl group”

❍ Alkyl groups are “stick-on” groups that can be attached to larger molecules

❍ Alkyl groups are named by replacing “-ane” on thealkane name with “-yl”
